First want to say thanks to thanks to both Jon @ Driverz & Jason @ Rushforth Wheels. They are great people to work with and were really helpful through the the whole process.
Please disregard the bodywork .... still have a lot of work to do, but wanted to show how the wheels look. The front sits pretty high right now, so the side shot has been photoshopped down. Here are the specs:

those look awesome. the titanium spokes with the polished hoops look perfect and i have just fallen in love with the fuels now. at first i thought they were alright but just another 5 spoke but in those colors
Looks good, Travis. Thanks for posting up. You should start a project thread with your rendering too or are you keeping it under wraps?
What you forgot to mention is that you bought that thing as a beat up bone stock runner at a GoodGuys show not too long ago and have done all the work yourselves! Keep it up!
Thanks for the comments guys, this site has been really helpful.
The rendering is too large for my scanner, but I just remembered I saw it on the Rushforth Wheels site.
I can check tonight, but I am sure Jon will be able to locate the BS easier. The rear-end was narrowed down to 56" flange-to-flange, and if needed, I can confirm that tonight as well.
Wow! That Nova has the perfect stance! The Fuel wheels look great on it. After seeing how good your Nova looks with them on it, that sold me on getting a set. I like the titianium centers with the polished rims. Gonna look great! Keep us posted on your progress!
Thanks Tony, just give Jon @ Driverz a call, he will get you all set up with both the wheels and tires.

What is are rears BS?
The Rear Backspacing is:
Drivers: 4.375"
Passenger: 5.00"
I guess you could say that they are about 4.625" BS. For some reason the axle was offset more than usual and caused this difference. The wheels are also set at the outer most edge as possible, so that might contribute to the larger difference as well.
I still have yet to find our Currie paperwork for the rear-end. Hope that info helps though.

Awesome. Give me a call when you are ready and we'll be sure to set you up with the right fit, and we can mount and balance and send them all together for you if you buy tires from us too.
